How fast do these websites actually load?

Under 0.3 seconds on average. Our demos load in 0.15 to 0.22 seconds, which is 20 to 40 times faster than the original websites. You can verify this with Google PageSpeed Insights on any demo.

Are these real businesses or just mockups?

Real businesses with real branding. Every demo uses the actual company name, logo, and awards. Petrone Locksmith is a live paying client. The demos are redesign concepts, not live sites.

What makes these websites load so fast?

Three things: React with server-side rendering, zero WordPress bloat, and global edge caching. We use no page builders, no heavy plugins, and no template themes.

Can you build something like this for my business?

Yes. Darwin builds your site in under an hour. Start with a free speed audit to see what a slow website is costing you, then sign up and Darwin takes it from there.

Do you only work with these industries?

No, we work with any local service business. Home services, restaurants, construction, fitness, insurance, and professional services are just our current demos.

What happens to my current website content?

We migrate everything. Your text, images, and customer reviews all move to the new fast site. We handle the technical migration so you do not lose anything.

How do I know my website is actually slow?

Run your site through Google PageSpeed Insights. If you score below 50 on mobile or take longer than 3 seconds to load, you are losing customers. We can run a free audit for you.

What is the difference between demos and your client work?

Demos show our design and speed capabilities without a contract. Client work, like Petrone Locksmith, includes ongoing hosting, updates, and support with a real business relationship.
